I respectfully disagree with you. When Susan Smith didn't have eye contact with the media when she was (pleading to have her children returned to her) I knew something was very wrong. When a person party's, gets tat's, shops, and most of all never reports her child missing until her Mother does it and then takes LE to places "where she works, invisananny's apartment" and just plain bold faced lies about everything. Hummmm? What is a reasonable person to think?
Behavioral evidence is often admissible and often a part of the jury's guilty verdict; rightfully so, imo.
